Frustrating Work Environment with Poor Management and Misleading Hiring Process - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Hubs

-Bram de Zwart and Alexandra Cappy are not working at this company for years. -Unpleasant office environment: poor-quality open space, no quiet areas; open kitchen causes food smells from 8 am; limited seating at lunch, some employees eat on their laps. - Inadequate meeting facilities: only 2–3 rooms for groups; one-person booths are poorly ventilated and uncomfortable. - Disorganized work structure: everything done asynchronously in Notion, making alignment very difficult; developers arrive at random times, slowing collaboration. - Unfavorable hours: regular late meetings (after 5 pm CET) due to >7‑hour time difference with the US. - Weak development standards: mostly junior developers from restricted-internet countries; limited experience, low expectations, and little accountability. - No cross-functional collaboration: teams operate in silos; roadmap fully dependent on Protolabs with little autonomy. -Lack of leadership: management avoids decision-making and has poor technical knowledge. -Excessively long hiring process: 6 stages, 9 interviewers — and key job details (like working late evenings due to US time zones) not disclosed.
